SEC CROWDFUNDING RULES
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted Regulation Crowdfunding to implement the requirements of Title III of
the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012, which provides an exemption from registration for certain crowdfunding
transactions.
Under Regulation Crowdfunding, eligible companies are allowed to raise capital through crowdfunding, starting May 16, 2016.
The rules enable companies to offer and sell securities through crowdfunding, with all transactions taking place online through
an SEC-registered intermediary, either a broker-dealer or a funding portal.
Regulation Crowdfunding allows a company to raise a maximum aggregate amount of $5 million through crowdfunding offerings
in a 12-month period.
Individual non-accredited investors are limited in the amounts they can invest in all Regulation Crowdfunding offerings over
the course of a 12-month period, with the investment limit based on their annual income and net worth.
For example, if either an investor’s annual income or net worth is less than $124,000, then the investor’s investment
limit is the greater of $2,500 or 5% of the greater of their annual income or net worth.
The SEC also amended the investment limits for investors in Regulation Crowdfunding offerings by removing investment limits
for accredited investors and using the greater of a non-accredited investor's annual income or net worth when calculating
the investment limits for such investors.
Regulation Crowdfunding offerings are subject to "bad actor" disqualification provisions, meaning that issuers must conduct
a factual inquiry to determine whether any covered person has had a disqualifying event, and the existence of such an event
will generally disqualify the offering from reliance.
Additionally, the SEC adopted Exchange Act Rule 12g5-1(a)(9), which specifies that for purposes of determining whether a crowdfunding
issuer is required to register a class of equity securities with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(g)(1) of the Exchange
Act, a crowdfunding issuer may exclude securities issued by a crowdfunding vehicle in accordance with Rule 3a-9 that are held
by natural persons, but must include securities issued by a crowdfunding vehicle that are held by investors that are not natural
persons.
The rules also establish safe harbors for multiple offerings, such as Safe Harbor 1, which states that any offering made more
than 30 calendar days before the commencement of any other offering, or more than 30 calendar days after the termination or
completion of any other offering, will not be integrated with such other offering.

SPOW!'s BIG SISTER CITY PITTSBURGH PA USA
Pittsburgh PA and Pittsfield MA share several things in common.
The cities plus the University of Pittsburgh share the same namesake and heraldic PITT FAMIY HERALDIC SHIELD with minor modifications.
Further, Pittsburgh has a long history with its major professional sports teams; the Steelers of the National Football
League, the Penguins of the National Hockey League, the Pirates of Major League Baseball and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of
United League Soccer all share the same team colors, the official city colors of black and gold. SPOW applauds this remarkable
municipal, civic, business, sports and overall city branding. Pittsburgh is the only city in the United States where this
practice of sharing team colors in solidarity takes place. The black-and-gold color scheme has since become widely associated
with the city and personified in its famous Terrible Towel. Metaphorically, Pittsburgh's city branding is a "Walk-off Home
Run" "Hat Trick," "Super Bowl" and "Super Cup" In short A MAJOR LEAGUE VICTORY!
